Since people are so obsessed with the whole fact that all the energy gets lost at the end. Has anyone at all wondered of using "stuff" to weaken the flux at the end. Imagen this "train" has some junk at its back. This can be anything. Wood, rubber, tin, allumnium, air gap.... Just to weaken the pull that the magnets you have passed cause. Also try those in combinations  . What's that name...oh yeah magnetic shield.

Well since Archer is making a wheel   he would only need segments to turn it   if closing the loop does as Graham says Chet

Hi Chet
Magnets do do as I say and the proof is in I hate to say it but my OnePulseElectromagnetic motor, that is overlapping magnets most of the way around the loop, it isn't closed because it becames one big magnet north one half south the other, so I have a airgap and it wont go past the last magnet because the field changes in the airgap, I have try it with a permanent magnet stator and a iron stator with the aray as the rotor, I have also had the aray as the stator and a permanent magnet or iron rotor, its attracting all the way around, it comes in but wont leave, you would think with the iron it would cross the gap but it doesn't why well for two reasons one it has to pass the attract back and two if it passes the attract back it doesn't change poles fast enough to get past the repel of the opposite poled airgap.
Which means you have the same problem no matter how many sections you have, in fact the more sections the bigger the problem.
I made the iron and electromagnet so when it gets to the last magnet the electromagnet kicks on changing the pole and kicking it across to attract in and thats why its a OnePulseElectromagnetic motor.
Take Care Chet

PS: I was going to say the overlapping system works the same vertical as it does the way I have it setup but I don't know if I can find the videos to show that so I will leave that one along, I hate having to give the bad news all the time but as I have said there is nothing new here to me and people need to know the facts before they spend there hard earned.

That is very smart Graham  Chet

I just had a bad feeling about Archer's magnet array. If he had enough magnets to go around the entire perimeter, then what would happen if he placed the moving magnet (car) into it? It might just stand still. I'm not sure if he showed it in any of the videos, but if he placed the moving magnet (car) about half way through (like 12:00) on his last video, will it accelerate or will it just stick there?  My thinking is that (maybe) the fact that it starts from the end of the array,.... that it accelerates very fast into it and then will slowly, slow down as it goes around.

Can anybody take a stab at the answer?
